# Translations (/docs/editor/translations)

Give a rule's name, description, messages and labels a text in each language of Premiere.



A rule speaks the languages of Premiere's interface: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and Simplified Chinese. Each of its texts (name, description, messages and label wordings) can have one text per language.

## You edit in the panel's language [#you-edit-in-the-panels-language]

The editor edits the texts **in the panel's language**. The footer says which one:

![The footer of the editor in French: Enregistrée dans max-clip-speed.rule.json. Les textes sont modifiés en Français ; les autres langues conservent les leurs.](/docs/editor/translation-footer.webp)

Other languages keep their own texts. A rule needs English; a language without its own text shows the English one.

## Translate a rule [#translate-a-rule]

1. Write the rule in English first: set the panel's language to English in the settings, under **General > Language**.
2. Switch the panel's language to the language to add, and open the rule again.
3. Each text without a translation shows the English one, with a note under it. Type the translation over it.

![The Rule section in French: Nom Fast clips and Description in English, each with the note Pas encore de texte en Français : l'anglais est affiché. Le modifier en crée un.](/docs/editor/translation-fallback.webp)

4. Save. Repeat for each language.

**Language: Auto** follows Premiere's own language.

Translate whole sentences: word order changes between languages, and [plural forms](/docs/editor/messages#plural-forms) differ too. Values that must be worded per language, such as a marker type, are [labels](/docs/editor/labels).

## In a rule file [#in-a-rule-file]

A translated text is an object keyed by locale, `{ "en_US": "…", "fr_FR": "…" }`. See [Messages](/docs/guides/messages#translations).
